Seeds- Found in flowering plants.  Pollen and ovary combine to create a fruit or pod, full of seeds.   Seeds need air, soil, sunlight, water, and space to grow into a new plant.
Spores- Ferns and mushrooms grow from spores.  They are dropped to the ground under the original plant, each spore can create a new plant if given the correct growing conditions.
Runners- Hens and Chicks propagate by runners.  A kind of stem grows out from the original plant, and has a small new plant on the end of it.  If the new plant finds soil, it will start to form roots.
Bulbs- Irises and onions propagate using bulbs.  They multiply under ground and each bulb can create a new plant.
Cuttings- Some plants can grow from a cutting of the original plant.  Simply cut off a section of the plant, put this cutting in water and roots should grow.  If the roots find soil they will grow into a new plant.
